Firejail

What is Firejail?

Firejail is a security sandbox program that restricts the running environment of untrusted applications to reduce the risk of security breaches. It utilizes Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf to provide a private view of kernel resources such as the network stack, process table, and mount table for a process and its descendants. This program can sandbox a variety of processes, including servers, graphical applications, and user login sessions. Written in C with minimal dependencies, Firejail is designed to be compatible with any Linux computer running a 3.x kernel version
